NGD SQUEIRE VM MUSTANG

Post by brainfur »

I bought this from nick
it should arrive today in the mail-- I am excite because this will be my second short scale ever (1st was a china jagmaster that brought me to this forum)

I will update this thread with progress since I think it needs a bit of rewiring and such

also of course it my first mustang so any tips on what it needs would be helpful

+1 Nick's rep as a solid dude. Shipped in original squier carton!!! neck-on, well cushioned ,perfect condition.

Also, guitar is 100% playable now so I'll probably play it for a week or two before modding anything

Glad you got it, it looks good. Definite agreed on the pg.

Fyi the neck is shimmed a little, and the bridge raised a bit. Already has electrical tape on the bridge posts. It's strung with 11-48 half rounds I think (just a cheap set I got on clearance I don't normally play with 1/2's). All that helps the bridge rattle a lot less than it did new out of the box. It was also my first Mustang and shortscale as well tho so others can probably weigh in a little better.

Have fun!
